Yummiest Lush Conditioner: Lush American Cream
I’m a sucker for sweet and yummy scented products. I’ve been a Lush fan since it’s been launched in the Philippines (about 2-3 years ago), and I’ve been buying their products every now and then.
One of my Lush favorites is Lush American Cream conditioner. It’s kinda hard to find a decent conditioner that has a [...]
Body Recipes Hand & Body Lotion moisturizes sans the grease.
When my cousin’s girlfriend arrived here in Manila from the US, she gave me this lotion knowing the beauty junkie that I am.
At first glance, it may look like a typical Philosophy knock-off, mainly because of its resembling packaging. But this Hand & Body Lotion from Body Recipes* has something more to offer. The [...]
Shu Uemura Glow On Blush
Shu Uemura Glow-on Blush was my first blush-on ever. When I was in mid high school, there was a time when I became very much aware of makeup and what could it do to enhance one’s beauty. I’ve always had a dull, pallid skin tone, and the need for blushes haunts me.
Going back, a relative [...]
Lay off your sparkles coz MAC Mattene is here!
Mattene is the newest lippie collection from MAC. Enjoy 16 limited edition colors of this modern take on MAC’s famed semi-matte to matte texture in a slimline design, which is now creamier, softer, moister yet still long-wearing, velvety and of course truly matte!
Take off the shine and glitter and don this ultra [...]
Skinfood Ginkgo Blemish Balm Cream
The blemish balm cream, commonly known as bb cream, has been a cult favorite in other Asian countries particularly Korea, Singapore and Taiwan (reviews here). If my research’s right, I think it originated in Korea and has been carried out by several brands including BRTC, Misscha, TFS and Skinfood to name a few. Many have [...]
MAC Flashtronic’s Mineralize Eyeshadows = Best Buy!
Believe it or not, I totally underwent a major rehab from hoarding cosmetics (MAC to be exact). I decided not to get anything from c-shock and tendertones ‘coz they’re not really my type.
However, during the past few weeks, I was drawn and beckoned to the nearest MAC counter in my area to take a [...]
MAC in 3D Lipglass is a must-have!
I just can’t get enough using my MAC 3D Lipglass. Sophie was right, this newest lipglass collection is truly a must-have! If you’re wondering why is it called “3D”, then put the lipglass to the (road) test and see the answer!
Based on my observation, MAC 3D Lipglass gives a multi-dimensional, high-fashion look that spells glamorous. [...]
The Balm Stainiac for a pocket-sized lip and cheek tint
I’ve been ogling for weeks to finally get a lip and cheek tint since I can’t manage to put and fix my lip gloss or lipstick without getting my hair stuck onto it. I guess that’s the downside of MAC lipglasses–they’re so sticky; they make my hair stick on my lips. Applying lipstick gives me [...]
I heart Lanvin Eclat D’Arpege!
I’m not a fan of flower-infused scents ‘coz most of the time they stifle me to death. Most perfumes are so overpowering, they smell like Baygon to me.
But, Lanvin Eclat D’ Arpege is a way different.
Amidst having a hard time pronouncing this sumptuous scent from the house of Lanvin (pronounced as “Lan-van” just like [...]
